Gaelic Storm – Courtin In The Kitchen chords
Chords:
A fun little Gaelic Storm version of a classic. It is my first attempt at figuring a song out and, while basic, I hope some may find it of use! I don't know how to differentiate the barre chords from the open, so I used the asterisk. Criticism (improvements) welcome!
